Tactile seriesfor floor and wall coverings

Nextep Leathers, a brand where creativity and technology are an integral part of leather applications, presents the TACTILE Series of tiles for easy and practical laying of leather floor and wall coverings.
The Tactile Series includes leather tiles in eight colours, offered in different surface decorations: Caimano, Elefante, Zebra, Giglio, Damasco, Treccia, Arcadia.
The rich palette and numerous leather surface finishes make an infinite number of combinations possible and allow floors and wall-coverings to be adapted to different styles of interiors, bringing out the choice of classic or modern.
The structural profile of the tile consists of a ceramic support base, guaranteeing resistance and stability, coupled with a leather surface worked to the highest tanning tradition standards, which gives the tile an imperishable surface and an extraordinary aesthetic finish at the same.
Each base material is suitable for different application requirements and thereby opens up a wide range of possible end uses.
The tile on a gres porcelain base guarantees a stable, firm floor by being laid directly on the substrate or screed. It is therefore easy to use either in new buildings or in complete renovations where the existing floor is to be removed.
The tile on a slim gres base, with a thickness of only 5.5mm, is thinner and therefore best in wall covering and also in the case of "light" refurbishments since it may be glued onto existing floors.
In addition Hpl is a flexible material and this tile is therefore recommended for application on curved walls, arches and columns
Not only fire-retardant, insulating and sound-absorbing, the surface of the leather is hardwearing: it is water- and oil-repellent, easy to clean and resistant to abrasion because it is treated according to the dictates of superior traditional tanning methods, exploiting the technological expertise and knowledge of hides acquired in more than 30 years of activity; that is why the product is totally reliable because the entire production process is guaranteed.
The intimacy, tactility and multisensory sensations of leather “live” in floor and surface coverings, which follow Man on his path through life. They are transformed over the years and are enriched by the marks of time, acquiring a precious “worn” feel which increases their appeal inside dwellings, hotels, workplaces, yacht.

General features:
• Leather tiles are fireproof, insulating, soundproofing, water- and oil-repellent.
• Tile surface can be cleaned simply using a damp cloth.
• The Nextep Leathers cleaning kit can be used to completely restore the tiles to their original shade.
• Laboratory tests, complying with international standards, show that oil, sauces, wine and cola drinks do not stain tiles after cleaning. Ammonia-based products should not be used for any reason.
• Leather has good abrasion resistance and is a “living” material: superficial scratches are reabsorbed and disappear with treading, whereas particularly deep scores become less visible.
